Have you tried supplemental folic acid. You may want to ask your doctor about it.

That is too bad. Perhaps you may want to ask your doctor for a different medication that would serve the same purpose. Or he could just take you off of it for a while to let your body rest a little. Also do some research into what helps your condition. The Mayo Clinic is a good place to find that information.
I wish you the best.

There are many discussions about methotrexate. To help me connect you with others like you, can you tell me what condition your were prescribed methotrexate for?
Did your doctor prescribe folic acid with the MTX? It mitigates the mouth ulcer and skin issues.
